Damn it, will have to go back to smoking grass now, oh no
God I’m glad I gave up the smokes.
€10,000 grand up already after about five/six years.
Do I have that €10,000?
No.
BACCOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo….
That indignant custom officer should be wearing a tie goddamn it, where’s the pride in the uniform?
where did the the three packs go from the 200 box he is displaying?

You know how they dispose of them? That’s right. They make him smoke them all. He just sits all day in a windowless room smoking illegal cigarettes for Ireland. He’s a 37 million a day man and has a voice like sandpaper scraped over Leonard Cohen’s larynx. God bless.
they’ve valued 20 smokes at 6 quid. is this like when they value drugs busts at double street value?
Maybe it is on account of my status as a dazzling urbanite, but I’ve never even heard of Golden Eagle cigarettes.
Nor has anybody I’ve asked today (admittedly the sadly small number of people I know).
Which poses the question; who was going to smoke them if they did make it through customs? Unless they intended to repackage them when they arrived, which would seem like a bit of an odd thing to do.

I’m asking the same question and getting the same response.
It must be a very close circle of peoples smoking 500 a day keeping them all to themselves! Probably hipsters on to some new ciggy trend before the rest of us.
They’re actually called Golden Eagiie. Not Double Eagle.
Thanks, Bingbong. Fixed now. Apologies.
Counterfit cigarettes are actually slightly less unhealthy than the real deal as they are cheap knock offs.
Think about that for a minute.
This story might scare the tobacco barons:

Of course, the industry says the plain packaging won’t work but happens to be fighting it with all their might.
